Cardigan Lifeboat aids stranded vessel
CARDIGAN lifeboat launched for the second time in under twelve hours on Friday (Oct 18) evening, after coastguards received a call from a person in a small boat struggling in the estuary near Patch.
Shortly after 6:15pm, lifeboat crew and coastguards located the vessel, which was unable to make progress upriver against the current. The owner requested a tow to the mooring at Netpool.
Cardigan lifeboat established the tow and, once upriver, handed the boat over to the coastguard team.
The lifeboat returned to station, ready for service by 8:00pm, and the crew headed home for a well-deserved dinner.
